Agriculture and food-chain wastes
The area around Boston is strongly associated with fenland agriculture and food supply activity. This can create waste streams such as liquid food residues, packaged food waste, cleaning chemicals, aerosols, damaged containers and contaminated solids. These materials should not be treated as standard commercial waste if they contain hazardous properties, are liquid, or require controlled handling. Segregating food-related liquids, packaging and chemicals at source helps reduce contamination, avoids unsuitable disposal routes and supports clearer documentation for collection.
